Apricot or Plum Fritter

Mix all the ingredients together quickly

Let it rest for half an hour and divide into small pieces (each weighing 30g)

Make the filling: soak the apricots in cold water until they're rehydrated, then pat them dry with paper towels

If using plums, remove the pits

Take each piece of dough and place a plum or apricot in the center, along with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

Wrap it up tightly and shape into small balls

In a pot, bring enough water to boil, then carefully add the balls and stir gently with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom

When they rise to the surface, let them cook for a few more minutes, then remove and rinse quickly in cold water

Make the coating: melt butter or margarine in a pan over low heat, then add all-purpose flour and stir until lightly toasted

Dip each ball into this mixture and serve on a platter with plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired

Serve as a dessert.
